The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:22:07 at Birmingham 2025 put Chris Walsh & Tim Birks 940th of 1,177 men's teams in the Doubles Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 58% of the field beaten on the stations, against 10% on the runs. No single station decided it: every one landed within 0:19 of the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:53 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Birmingham gained about 1:50.
